Oooh, so you mean that grobs now containing mostly a
textedit:///path/to/file:line:column:something could then include much
more stuff.
A sort of dictionary containing lots of information (voice staff and
so many possible mores! ;-) ) that some editor could fetch and
interpret and link to. That sounds awesome (from my
no-so-much-of-a-real-programmer point of view) !

If I understand correctly that implies LilyPond should provide each
grob with such information encapsulation for an eventual
"point-and-choose-and-click" interface.

So is /that/ what your saying?
